Austin rescue puppy to star in “Of Mice & Men” opera

An impossibly cute rescue puppy named Squeakie has been chosen to star in Austin Opera’s upcoming production of “Of Mice & Men,” composer Carlisle Floyd’s adaptation of John Steinbeck’s famous novella.

Squeakie, a rescue puppy from Austin Pets Alive, is available for adoption — after she makes her debut with Austin Opera.
